Derby County midfielder Hossam Ghaly is unhappy not being allowed to face parent club Tottenham on Saturday.

"That is a shame because I had some good times with Tottenham," he told The Times. "But after staying out of the game for so long, it's a good feeling to be getting games and hitting top form again. I'm trying to do my best and play my own game, to do my best for myself and for the team also. So I think, game after game, I'm getting better."
